From a very early age she was collaborator of the main newspapers of the country. Also, she has published articles in the Colombian newspaper El Espectador and in the Mexican newspapers La Jornada and El Universal, in the magazines Quimera, INTI and Gatopardo, among others. Her writing approaches the essay, the chronicle, the short-story and the novel. In all these genres underlies the presence of an own voice that dissents and questions the sense of life. Her writing explores the fiction from the parody of the world as a big theater, aims at the fragmentary things and uses humor as critic. In her essays, her reflections take her writing to a space of self-acknowledgment and proof. With persistence she has tried to demonstrate the (sinister) superiority of the stereotype, the triviality as daily tragedy, and has questioned the reality and the mechanisms of representation.

She is a former publishing production assistant at Monte Ávila Editores and the National Academy of History, and has been director of Collection Development of the National Library, edition advisor of the ‘Esta Tierra de Gracia' Foundation, member of the board of directors of the Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos ‘Rómulo Gallegos' (CELARG) [‘Rómulo Gallegos' Latin American Studies Center], representative of the area of narrative at the Casa de Bello [House of Bello], president of the ‘Biblioteca Ayacucho' Foundation and Advisor Minister of the Permanent Mission of Venezuela at the Organization of American States.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts' Degree from the Central University of Venezuela. She was granted a scholarship for postgraduate studies by the ‘Ortega and Gasset' International Studies Foundation and the Institute of Latin American Cooperation in Toledo with Fernando Rodriguez La Fuente and Joaquín Rubio. She attended the masters in Latin American Literature of the Simón Bolivar University.
